  • TypeElectrical Connectors
  • Handles up to 6 copper conductors for versatile splicing
  • Rated 600 V and 221 °F for demanding circuits
  • UL Listed, CSA Certified and CE marked for code compliance
  • Wing-style design with silicone fill eases installation and seals connections
  • Thermoplastic polyester insulation resists flame to UL 94 V-2

Ideal 30-1162P Wire Connector

The Ideal 30-1162P is a twist-on wire connector rated for a maximum single wire size of 12 AWG and a maximum combination of 2 10 AWG with 1 14 AWG. It suits electricians and technicians making copper splices up to 600 V in residential or light commercial work.

Sustained load behaviour

The connector uses steel contacts with a zinc finish housed in thermoplastic polyester insulation filled with silicone. It carries a UL 94 V-2 flammability rating and a maximum operating temperature of 221 Degrees F, maintaining integrity under continuous thermal stress within its listed limits.

Upgrade context

This wing-style connector replaces basic wire nuts when a higher conductor count of up to 6 is required or when CSA and CE certifications are specified. It is not suited for aluminium conductors or for applications exceeding the 600 V rating.

Questions about this item

Does the 221 °F temperature rating mean the connector runs hot during continuous use?

The 221 °F figure is the maximum operating temperature the thermoplastic insulation can withstand, not the heat the connector generates; normal current flow through the steel contacts produces minimal warmth.

Must I supply my own copper conductors rated for 600 V to use these connectors?

Yes, the connectors are designed for copper wire only and are rated up to 600 V, so the conductors you install must be copper and rated for at least that voltage.

Will the wing-style connector accept a mix of 10 AWG and 14 AWG wires alongside the 12 AWG solid I already have?

The maximum combination allowed is two 10 AWG with one 14 AWG, and the largest single wire is 12 AWG, so your 12 AWG solid fits within the approved range.
